Millennials are a difficult topic to talk about. Baby Boomers seem to hate them, others seem to love them, and the small generation in between just seems to be confused by them. I mean, you can’t please everybody, right? They are seen to be this new generation of kidswho are independent, free-spirited, and have passion for everything.

Even the most successful millennials still look for help from their parents. Now no one ever said that it was wrong to get help from mom and dad, but with all of their success, you would think they wouldn’t need it. Out of 1,131 people surveyed, a whopping 74% of millennials still rely on their parents. This number was taken from 21-29 year olds with an income of $100,000 or more, and people aged 30-36 with at least $250,000. That means that of the 1,131 people surveyed, 837 of them, need help from mommy and daddy. Eight hundred. And thirty seven.

It seems as though the four places that millennials need the most help with is in auto insurance, utilities, home purchases, and health insurance:

As it’s pretty obvious, there are many millennials out there that are already successful, but maybe it’s time to stop turning to mom and dad for help, and go to the services that can help you be even more successful.
